"Our goal is a two- to three-year process that would be launched this Sunday [at the pro-marriage rallies], which would involve political activism in getting rid of some of the senators and change the political landscape so that we can have a constitutional amendment that would allow for a referendum that would allow the citizens of New York to decide if the state is going to change the definition of marriage. Our immediate goal is that there is a huge outcry so that our opponents don't think they can just run roughshod over the church and all concerned citizens." - Christ Covenant Coalition leader
Joseph Mattera, explaining the plan to overturn same-sex marriage in New York.
